Across the Middle East today, immolations are on the rise and nervous American-backed autocrats are listening to the rumbling from below, like the Egyptian demonstrators already reportedly chanting, “We are next, we are next, [Tunisian dictator] Ben Ali, tell [Egyptian autocrat Hosni] Mubarak he is next.”

( It never seems to occur to U.S. commentators that the government is using economic warfare on the U.S. citizenry as a matter of policy. But it's 'their' government which spends the budget making planetary warfare to 'defend' them....right ? )
Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama starts out with the warning of dire consequences of our high debt and deficit spending and he lays the fault completely at the feet of President Obama.
It was the Republicans deregulation of banking (tragically with the signature of President Clinton) and the Bush administrations insistence that the market would take care of itself that lead to the collapse. Given that, this warning seems a little hollow to me.
Image via WikipediaThen Sen. Sessions engages in a little through the rabbit hole thinking about the tax deal last month. He says:
Last month, President Obama would agree to maintain current tax rates only if Congress would agree to increase federal deficit spending. We are headed toward a cliff, yet the president hits the accelerator.
"To begin turning the corner, I propose that any effort to raise the debt ceiling be tied to no less than a sustained 10 percent reduction of current discretionary spending. Though this is only a first step, it would finally be a step in the right direction - one the country can easily absorb."
( That will 'turn the corner'...right into the wall. I wonder what kind of 'responsibility' one could expect ? Here's what I put in comments 11 May - Economics in Salvador
